Golden quadrilateral
The Golden Quadrilateral is a highway network in India that connects the major metropolitan cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata. It forms a quadrilateral shape on the map, hence the name.

The project to construct the Golden Quadrilateral was initiated by the Indian government in 2001 with the aim of improving road connectivity and promoting economic development across the country. The total length of the Golden Quadrilateral is around 5,846 kilometers (3,633 miles). It is a part of the National Highways Development Project (NHDP) undertaken by the Indian government.

The Golden Quadrilateral consists of four major arms:

Delhi-Kolkata Corridor: This section connects the capital city of Delhi in the north with Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta) in the east. It passes through cities like Agra, Kanpur, Varanasi, and Dhanbad.

Kolkata-Chennai Corridor: This section connects Kolkata in the east with Chennai in the south. It passes through cities like Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, and Tirupati.

Chennai-Bangalore-Mumbai Corridor: This section connects Chennai in the south with Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) in the west. It passes through cities like Bangalore, Hubli, and Pune.

Mumbai-Delhi Corridor: This section connects Mumbai in the west with Delhi in the north. It passes through cities like Ahmedabad, Jaipur, and Udaipur.

Western Ghats || Sahyadri Mountain Range
Older than the Himalaya mountains, the mountain chain of the Western Ghats represents geomorphic features of immense importance with unique biophysical and ecological processes.

The site’s high montane forest ecosystems influence the Indian monsoon weather pattern. Moderating the tropical climate of the region, the site presents one of the best examples of the monsoon system on the planet.

It also has an exceptionally high level of biological diversity and endemism and is recognized as one of the world’s eight ‘hottest hotspots’ of biological diversity.

The forests of the site include some of the best representatives of non-equatorial tropical evergreen forests anywhere and are home to at least 325 globally threatened flora, fauna, bird, amphibian, reptile and fish species.

The Western Ghats include a diversity of ecosystems ranging from tropical wet evergreen forests to montane grasslands containing numerous medicinal plants and important genetic resources such as the wild relatives of grains, fruit and spices.

They also include the unique shola ecosystem which consists of montane grasslands interspersed with evergreen forest patches.

Indian Space Research Organisation said that the integrated spacecraft and LVM-3 rocket are at the launchpad at the Sathish Dhawan Space Centre in ahead of its launch, which is scheduled to launch at 2.30 PM on July 14.

The mission will consist of a lander and a rover similar to Chandrayaan-2, but would not have an orbiter. Its propulsion module will behave like a communications relay satellite. The propulsion module will carry the lander and rover configuration until the spacecraft is in a 100km lunar orbit.
The propulsion module, in addition to the lander, carries a payload called Spectro-polarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth (SHAPE) to study the spectral and polarimetric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit.
The lander will be similar to the Vikram lander on Chandrayaan-2, with improvements to help ensure a safe landing. The rover will be called Pragyan, and it will be equipped with instruments to study the lunar surface.
The mission's primary objectives are to:

Demonstrate end-to-end landing and roving capabilities on the Moon.

Study the lunar surface and its composition.

Investigate the presence of water ice in the lunar polar regions.

Study the lunar environment and its suitability for future human exploration.

Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2, which was launched in 2019. Chandrayaan-2 successfully entered lunar orbit, but its lander Vikram failed to land safely on the Moon. Chandrayaan-3 is designed to address the shortcomings of Chandrayaan-2 and to achieve a soft landing on the Moon.
